Hi!

@Mauro: Please pull this patch
There already is an report at kernel bugzilla about this issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9455

When enabling extra checks for the i2c-bus of cx88 based cards by loading i2c_algo_bit with bit_test=1 this may trigger an oops when loading cx88_dvb.

This is caused by the extra check code that detects that the sda-line is stuck high and thus does not register the i2c-bus.

Quoted 6 lines

cx88-dvb however does not check if the i2c-bus is valid and just uses core->i2c_adap to attach dvb frontend modules. This leads to an oops at the first call to i2c_transfer:

# modprobe i2c_algo_bit bit_test=1
# modprobe cx8802

Thanks for this information. If you don't mind, would you let me utilise this fix in another way?

I have been auditing MFE additions and I need to change something elsewhere and can see an alternative to to bailing out in dvb_register?

Thanks
